Boundary interpolation by finite Blaschke products

Given 2n distinct points z(1), z'(1), z(2), z'(2), ..., z(n), z'(n) (in this order) on the unit circle, and n points w(1), ..., w(n) on the unit circle, we show how to construct a Blaschke product B of degree n such that B(z(j)) = w(j) for all j and, in addition, B(z'(j)) = B(z'(k)) for all j and k. Modifying this example yields a Blaschke product of degree n - 1 that interpolates the z(j)'s to the w(j)'s. We present two methods for constructing our Blaschke products: one reminiscent of Lagrange's interpolation method and the second reminiscent of Newton's method. We show that locating the zeros of our Blaschke product is related to another fascinating problem in complex analysis: the Sendov Conjecture. We use this fact to obtain estimates on the location of the zeros of the Blaschke product.
